With a strong background in marketing and a keen eye for strategy, Nick is ready to make waves in the digital space.

Welcome to the tank Nick! We’re so happy you’re here😊 What caught your eye about us and made you want to work at AdShark?

I first learned about AdShark during my time at Concordia. Jack and Justin had presented about AdShark to my marketing class, and their passion for AdShark immediately stood out to me. From that moment on, I kept AdShark on my radar. When this opportunity came about, I knew I had to apply! (Fun Fact: I applied to this job when AdShark wasn’t actively hiring)

You have one sentence to describe yourself… GO!

I’m a laid-back person who loves sports, technology, and investing.

Sweet! Now let’s see what you can tell us with a few more sentences. Tell us a little bit more about you.

I grew up in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. I am a huge Timberwolves and Vikings fan. I played both basketball and tennis growing up. I attended MSUM on campus as a PSEO student for my senior year of high school before attending Concordia College where I received my bachelors of arts in Finance. I have a good amount of experience with organic social media growth through my own ventures and have always had an interest in the data behind social media. In my free time you can find me on the lake, in the gym, spending time with my friends, and going down rabbit holes online!

You’re into all things Artificial Intelligence and enjoy learning and working with it. What’s one piece of technology or advancement in AI that you think could change the world in the next 10 years?

AI-powered healthcare tools will revolutionize the way we diagnose and treat diseases. It will be much more accurate and quicker than humans. Artificial Intelligence and quantum computing will allow for much quicker research utilizing simulations. This will have a huge impact and “change the world in the next 10 years.”

We hear you love furry friends, dogs specifically. Do you have any dogs now, and what is your dream dog breed to own?

I myself do not have a dog, but my family has an aussie doodle named Bear. In the somewhat near future I plan on getting a golden doodle, which is my dream dog! 🙂

As a new digital marketing strategist at AdShark, you’ll be learning about digital ads, and growing client relationships and businesses. What are you most looking forward to in your new role?

Right away, being a sponge is my number one priority. After I get the ball rolling, I look forward to getting to know my clients and working hard to help them achieve their goals!

You’re hosting a dinner party and can invite three fictional characters. Who’s on your guest list?

Saul Goodman,  Anakin Skywalker, and Michael Scott

Which artists put you into your flow state when working on projects and tasks?

Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, Zach Bryan, Mac Miller, and Berlioz

If you had to describe your ideal weekend, how would you describe it?

On the lake with friends, Mexican food, fantastic tunes, and a round of golf!

You’ve worked in both sales and marketing—what’s one skill you’ve learned from sales that you think every marketer should have? (Don’t be shy… tell us your secrets😉)

Definitely not a secret, but very applicable in general… Knowledge + Repetition = Confidence! The more you know and the more you do, the better you will be at just about anything.

Last but not least, what’s your favorite type of shark?

Hammerhead
